Stimulation of RNA and protein synthesis in isolated chondrocytes by human serum. 1976

J T Garland, and F Buchanan

The stimulation of isolated chicken embryo chondrocytes was studied by measuring the incorporation of [3H]uridine and [3H]leucine into cold trichloroacetic acid precipitable material after exposure of the chondrocytes to serum. The doseresponse relationships for the incorporation of uridine and leucine were similar to that of thymidine previously demonstrated. Exposure of the cells to serum-containing buffer for 15 min sufficed both for the stimulation of incorporation into the cells and for the depletion of 28% of the stimulating activity from the medium. Stimulation persisted for at least 17 h after removal of the serum. Studies where actinomycin D was added to inhibit RNA synthesis suggested that prior RNA synthesis was required for most of the stimulation of protein synthesis by serum factors.

D002356 Cartilage A non-vascular form of connective tissue composed of CHONDROCYTES embedded in a matrix that includes CHONDROITIN SULFATE and various types of FIBRILLAR COLLAGEN. There are three major types: HYALINE CARTILAGE; FIBROCARTILAGE; and ELASTIC CARTILAGE. Cartilages
D002478 Cells, Cultured Cells propagated in vitro in special media conducive to their growth. Cultured cells are used to study developmental, morphologic, metabolic, physiologic, and genetic processes, among others. Cultured Cells,Cell, Cultured,Cultured Cell
D002642 Chick Embryo The developmental entity of a fertilized chicken egg (ZYGOTE). The developmental process begins about 24 h before the egg is laid at the BLASTODISC, a small whitish spot on the surface of the EGG YOLK. After 21 days of incubation, the embryo is fully developed before hatching. Embryo, Chick,Chick Embryos,Embryos, Chick
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D003609 Dactinomycin A compound composed of a two CYCLIC PEPTIDES attached to a phenoxazine that is derived from STREPTOMYCES parvullus. It binds to DNA and inhibits RNA synthesis (transcription), with chain elongation more sensitive than initiation, termination, or release. As a result of impaired mRNA production, protein synthesis also declines after dactinomycin therapy.
